Official Comments

In other, the former president announced he would rule out running for the vice-presidency in the 2028 US election, an idea some of his followers have proposed to permit the GOP leader to occupy an additional term in the White House.

"It would be permissible to pursue that path," Trump said, in an exchange with media members aboard the presidential aircraft.
